Frequently Asked Questions

Below you will find answers to some common questions about the bot. More questions will be added as they come up.

What makes the prices move?

A channel's stock price will adjust itself to reflect the business of a channel. This means all messages, emoji reactions and voice activity will help raise the price. When a channel is not being used, it's stock price will go down.

Is this bot configurable?

Yes, very. Many people have requested settings for various features. For example, the bot has NPCs that trade with players so they don't have to wait for other server members to interact with the bot. But NPCs can be turned off if your server is active enough to sustain a true stock market.

What permissions does this bot need?

Right now, the bot only needs permission to view channels (including voice activity). The bot cannot read your messages, it only cares about message count. The bot can edit, create and assign roles but these permissions are not currently used. However, they will be necessary in a future update.

What is Premium?

Premium is an upgrade to the bot that grants you access to all features, and removes all limitations. Click the Premium link above to learn more about it. Generally I try to keep the bot as accessible to everyone as I can. But features that could get me rate-limited or cost me extra resources are put behind the paywall.
